Rooks Narrator: Leon Nixon Format: mp3 Length: 9 hrs and 55 mins Release date: 01-18-22 Ratings: 4.5 out of 5 stars, 14 ratings Genres: Africa Publisher's Summary: The most feared ship in Britain’s West Africa Squadron, His Majesty’s brig Black Joke was one of a handful of ships tasked with patrolling the western coast of Africa in an effort to end hundreds of years of global slave trading. Sailing after the spectacular fall of Napoleon in France, yet before the rise of Queen Victoria’s England, Black Joke was first a slaving vessel itself, and one with a lightning-fast reputation; only a lucky capture in 1827 allowed it to be repurposed by the Royal Navy to catch its former compatriots.
